Don't Let Recent Losses Vote on the Next Trade Trading is hard — the last few days reminded us of that. Nothing was really working, and it stings a bit. That part never fully goes away. But with time, you learn not to take those losses personally or carry them into the next decision. Here's the thing: when the longer-term uptrend is confirmed, the market doesn't wait for your P&L to feel better before offering the next setup. Support reclaims, oversold flushes, leaders backtesting the 21dma — they show up when they show up. Yes, protect capital. But protecting capital and executing your edge aren't opposites. Last week doesn't get a vote on the trade in front of you. Read the structure, trust the framework, and execute.
